CowboyKen Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The Kingsmen were awesome!! Talk about bringing back memories!! They were the FIRST drum corps I ever saw - 1974. Drill was great WOW! Thank you Kingsmen Alumni Corps - it was well worth the price of admission. SUPERB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaddabout Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 So do we know who was on the snare line? Just thinking what it was like back in the day with Hardimon, Float, Rob Carson, and the rest of the gang. No disrespect to legends like Thom Hannum, but those old Kingsmen lines just seem like Ground Zero for modern DCI battery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll find the answer to that question (along with some amazing photos) in this thread in the "Historical" forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scv guy Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 ^OO^ From Side 1 (Go Sharks!) it was also amazing. The most awesome experience of my adult life. Thanks to the crowd for giving us such amazing support, cheers and applause. The energy feeding back and forth was the reason the performance was so electrifying. Thanks to you, it was definitely worth it. And to my brothers and sisters in the KAC...I love you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
